How many console variations?

[gamiller]

I'm doing a group buy on shift & brake boots, and I want to be sure each customer gets a perfect fit.

I know there's a difference between the early model consoles (i.e. cup spiller) and the late model consoles (i.e. cup holder).

Were both consoles available both with and without an armrest? Does anybody have pics of the hand brake on the different consoles?

i just went from a center console with no armrest to one with and everything worked perfect, if thats what you meant but your questions

[gamiller]

actually, i am trying to figure out if the pre 01 consoles came both with and without armrests.

i am also trying to figure out if the post 01 consoles came both with and without armrests.

the 99-00s came both with and without (plus the 2000 special ed 2001-ish style console).

My 99 Spiller came with arm rest. But my current 00 Holder has no armrest. I believe all years had the option of arm rest or not. Though recently changing my console, i noticed i couldnt use my old E-brake boot. But the shift boot works fine.

Yes, the base model (4cyl 5spd) 01 Cougar came with a no arm rest and actual cup holder.


Between the Cougar 1 and Cougar 2 there were 5 different center consoles:

99-00 Both were charcoal/gray in color.
(1) Non arm rest Console with actual cup holder
(2) Non arm rest console with cup "spiller" - (Found on V6 non sport model)
(3) Console with arm rest (cloth and leather) with cup "spiller"

01-02 Both were black in color
(4) Non arm rest console with actual cup holder
(5) Console with arm rest and acutal cup holder

Actually, I have a 99 with no arm rest and a cup spiller.
On a sidenote, I have a 2.5 with high back buckets instead of adjustable headrest. Is that weird? I've read that the high backs were on the 4cyl.

Looks like every option was possible...

99/00 gray cupspiller no armrest
99/00 gray cupspiller armrest *
99/00 gray cupholder no armrest *
99/00 gray cupholder armrest

01/02 black cupholder no armrest
01/02 black cupholder armrest *

I put an asterisk next to the ones that are in cars I own if you still need photos. Let me know.
